Mergers and Acquisition Course Testimonials

SHIVANG AGGARWAL

This M&A course was really well structured. Each and every thing is explained appropriately. One suggestion, if the videos could fast forward the excel formatting parts, copying and pasting of same formulas multiple times or excessive repetition of the same thing like showing 5 data tables, debt schedule for every debt category, then it would have been perfect. Thanks team.Linked
